Apple Planning New iPhone

iphone321At least once a week we hear an iPhone rumour, ranging from new updates, faults, releases and Apple news in general where the devices name is uttered as an afterthought. Now however, it seems that the latest rumours may hold water.

On the 2nd of July, Apple filed patents for what seem like very interesting features for the iPhone. With the 3G S barely onto the market as it is, it seems like Apple is thinking ahead already.

These patents filed revolve around the fingerprint idea and how a touch screen recognizes them. This could be used for security reasons (which would make an iPhone pretty darn secure) and also for basic control of the device. For example, a touch with the little finger may be preset to bring you back to the homepage while the middle finger could launch the internet browser.

All this seems very complex and as such is unlikely to make an appearance to the market for a few years as apple don’t want to over complicate what it already a very revolutionary device. Still, it’s good to know that the Smartphone market will still be alive and competitive two years down the line.
